Delia's menu for March

Root vegetables are still good at this time of year, so what better to use in this month's starter? Then, for the main course, a true classic that's in need of a revival and, for dessert, a chocolate treat!

Starter

Slow-cooked Root Vegetable Soup

Something happens to vegetables when they're cooked very slowly for a long time: their flavour becomes mellow but at the same time more intense, and your kitchen is filled with aromas of goodness. This soup is also completely fat-free.

Main course

Coq au Vin

This makes a splendid dinner-party dish.I like to give this dish half its cooking time the day before, let it cool, then refrigerate and give it the other half of the cooking time before serving.
